Licorice Tea

I am just starting to look at licorice tea. I really love the black licorice flavor but I do not know how just the tea would hold up to it. It would probably be best to have a licorice and anise seed mix.

Has anyone point out to a decent vendor for licorice root tea and or blends. Also what is the flavor like?

I've never tried it in a "real" tea, but the herbal stuff is very good- especially the one I linked to in the other thread. It has a spicy taste, not exactly what you'd think of as licorice, but the aroma is definitely licorice.

Just on a whim today, I made up my 2 cup travel mug with a tsp. of Adagio's Rum tea and a tsp and a half of the Ebay Licorice Spice. Let it steep for 4 minutes. It turned out amazing. The Rum was lacking something for my tastes by itself, but the flavor still came through the anise seed and cloves in the Licorice Spice and complemented it perfectly. I'm going to bring some LS with me tonight and try mixing it with some cheap Chinese green tea I don't care for much and see how that works out. This is one of the few times that I mixed a blend myself that didn't taste like dishwater in the end.

Oh yeah, forgot to tell you- if you order from that lady on Ebay she gives a few free samples with each order. If you try the licorice spice, just ask for a sample of the licorice root tea and save that few bucks. She normally throws in two more samples of her choosing along with what you request.

Since my mom is from Denmark, I always had black licorice around the house. When I was younger in my trips to Denmark with my family I used to buy licorice root from candy stands. It tastes like a sweet black licorice when chewed. I have not tried it but I've seen rishi teas offer a licorice root tea. It might be right up your alley.
